The legal situation you describe is a matter of impossibility and unrelated to the OpenAI case. In the case of a warez site they would never have logged such a "conversation" to begin with. So if the court requested that they p

From a copyright perspective the only question that matters is this: Do we treat AI models like (Xerox) copiers or do we treat them like artists? If we treat it like a copier it's the end user that's responsible when they tell it

Oh this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to abusing Unicode! You can use a similar technique to this to overflow the buffer on loads of systems that accept Unicode strings. Normally it just produces an error and/or a cr
